Intruder

(1964 October)

I knew I missed telling you something when I mentioned Edith [Tuxford] before! Well, when she came home from the hospital, in Ellen's room the window and screen were both broken and glass skattered all over the room. A frightening sight! Nothing was disturbed, nothing missing. It did not look to be the work of a child. Dick [son-in-law] thought the police should be called. They came and could deduce nothing. Neighbors knew nothing. The next thing to do was to get Joe R. to put in a new glass and he knew right away what it was. A partridge had got off its course and hit against the window with great force. Joe even found a few feathers! He recalled the same thing happening at Bancrofts and one other place. Remarkable?
